Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. The most common use of gravitational potential energy is for an object near the surface of the Earth where the gravitational acceleration can be assumed to be constant at about 9.8 m/s2.

A rocket starting from its launch pad is subjected to a uniform acceleration of 100 meters/second2. Determine the time needed to

balandron [24]

The velocity is the integral of acceleration. If acceleration is 100 m/s^2 then velocity is:

$v= \int\limits^{}_{}100 \, dt=100t$

So to know the velocity at any time, t, we just put t in seconds into this equation. To know at what time we get to a certain velocity, we set this equation equal to that velocity and solve for t:

$100t = 1000 \\ \\ t= \frac{1000}{100} =10s$

Is there any machine that is 100% efficient? why?why not

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

No, it's not there.

Explanation:

For a machine to be 100% efficient, it has to be with an output which is equal to its input. But machines have an out put less than an input, hence efficiency below 100%.
